New Shocks with Std coils on a GU Anyone?

Try it, it will be cheapest way to find out.

Others may have a different opinion on 'better' than yourself - or expectation.

Konis' will NEVER let you down + rebuildable.

I have OME (Nitorcharger) on my GUIV with standard coils and polyairs in the rear. I looked seriously at Koni but cost turned me off ( even though they are rebuildable).

The OME work well on corrugations, our poor sealed roads/highways and control the suspension well ( I found the OEM's faded quickly. The rears in particular when towing ).

Some initial harshness with the BFG A/T's I run but other wise a well controlled ride ( I run steel wheels as well).

They work well for me.

Me thinks the tyres will cause the same problem, good shocks or not !!!

Hi Andrew

Kept Original Springs on my GU because have policy of
not making the car heavier than standard. I.E. if adding
an acessory - must remove weight elsewhere.
The originals have some superior characteristics if you don't
require height.

Hence I choose Tough dog adjustable shocks in smaller size
35mm.

This allows me to choose settings I need and I use them set
softer when running 10ply tires (Toyo Opats).

As these shocks are suitable for up to 50mm lift , I played around
and used 15mm plastic spacers to centre shocks an give max wheel travel
as no longer use rear sway bar either.

On my third set of Koni's now (on 3 seperate 4x4's that is). Guess that sums up my views on the matter;-)

Made a big improvement on my GU, but as I changed the springs at the same time it's not a fair comparison. Either way, the difference in damping at any speed was very noticeable.

If you think the std setup is harsh! you will never be happy.
